We are pleased to announce our Postgraduate Conference for students and 
researchers interested in the role of the body in social sciences and 
the concept of embodiment as a source of critical reflection in diverse 
disciplines. We invite abstracts that deal with embodiment in any 
thematic or methodological way, from a diverse range of disciplines like 
Gender Studies, Politics, Philosophy, Geography, Arts, Health, Media, 
STS, Social Policy and any other approach.

             Topics include (but are not limited to):

•Power, gender and identity

•Politics of the body

•Body transformations

•Health, Food and Practices

•Disabilities, agency and control

•Affect and Emotions

•Technology, humans and cyborgs

•Body as Mediation

•Arts, performance and creation

•Cultural representations of the body

•Measurement, tracking and datification of the self

Masters and PhD Students are particularly encouraged to submit an 
abstract, as well as other postgraduate students in early stages of 
analysis, as this is an excellent chance to present your work in a 
constructive and supportive environment. We also welcome works in 
progress by any other level of early career researchers.

of up to *300 words* to (empowered-bodies /at/ york.ac.uk)
